The `testMetaPluginPolicyConfirmation` needs to close the file streams it is
iterating over, otherwise some OSes (like Windows) might not be able to delete
all temporary folders, which in turn leads to test failures.
Closes#28415
This commit switches the internal format of the elasticsearch keystore
to no longer use java's KeyStore class, but instead encrypt the binary
data of the secrets using AES-GCM. The cipher key is generated using
PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512. Tests are also added for backcompat reading the v1
and v2 formats.
Currently meta plugins will ask for confirmation of security policy
exceptions for each bundled plugin. This commit collects the necessary
permissions of each bundled plugin, and asks for confirmation of all of
them at the same time.
Meta plugins move the unzipped plugin as is, but the inner plugins may
have a different directory name than their corresponding plugin
properties file specifies. This commit fixes installation to rename the
directory if necessary.
* This change makes sure that we don't detect a file path containing a ':' as
a maven coordinate (e.g.: `file:C:\path\to\zip`)
* restore test muted on master
This change modifies the installation for a meta plugin,
the content of the config and bin directory inside each bundled plugins are now moved in the meta plugin directory.
So instead of `$configDir/meta-plugin-name/bundled_plugin/name/` the content of the config
for a bundled plugin is now in `$configDir/meta-plugin-name`. Same applies for the bin directory.
This commit adds the ability to package multiple plugins in a single zip.
The zip file for a meta plugin must contains the following structure:
|____elasticsearch/
| |____ <plugin1> <-- The plugin files for plugin1 (the content of the elastisearch directory)
| |____ <plugin2> <-- The plugin files for plugin2
| |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties <-- example contents below
The meta plugin properties descriptor is mandatory and must contain the following properties:
description: simple summary of the meta plugin.
name: the meta plugin name
The installation process installs each plugin in a sub-folder inside the meta plugin directory.
The example above would create the following structure in the plugins directory:
|_____ plugins
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ meta-plugin-descriptor.properties
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
If the sub plugins contain a config or a bin directory, they are copied in a sub folder inside the meta plugin config/bin directory.
|_____ config
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
|_____ bin
| |____ <name_of_the_meta_plugin>
| | |____ <plugin1>
| | |____ <plugin2>
The sub-plugins are loaded at startup like normal plugins with the same restrictions; they have a separate class loader and a sub-plugin
cannot have the same name than another plugin (or a sub-plugin inside another meta plugin).
It is also not possible to remove a sub-plugin inside a meta plugin, only full removal of the meta plugin is allowed.
Closes#27316
This commit adds the infrastructure to plugin building and loading to
allow one plugin to extend another. That is, one plugin may extend
another by the "parent" plugin allowing itself to be extended through
java SPI. When all plugins extending a plugin are finished loading, the
"parent" plugin has a callback (through the ExtensiblePlugin interface)
allowing it to reload SPI.
This commit also adds an example plugin which uses as-yet implemented
extensibility (adding to the painless whitelist).
This commit reorganizes some of the content in the configuring
Elasticsearch section of the docs. The changes are:
- move JVM options out of system configuration into configuring
Elasticsearch
- move JVM options to its own page of the docs
- move configuring the heap to important Elasticsearch settings
- move configuring the heap to its own page of the docs
- move all important settings to individual pages in the docs
- remove bootstrap.memory_lock from important settings, this is covered
in the swap section of system configuration

JDK 9 has removed JVM options that were valid in JDK 8 (e.g., GC logging
flags) and replaced them with new flags that are not available in JDK
8. This means that a single JVM options file can no longer apply to JDK
8 and JDK 9, complicating development, complicating our packaging story,
and complicating operations. This commit extends the JVM options syntax
to specify the range of versions the option applies to. If the running
JVM matches the range of versions, the flag will be used to start the
JVM otherwise the flag will be ignored.
We implement this parser in Java for simplicity, and with this we start
our first step towards a Java launcher.

Any CLI commands that depend on core Elasticsearch might touch classes
(directly or indirectly) that depends on logging. If they do this and
logging is not configured, Log4j will dump status error messages to the
console. As such, we need to ensure that any such CLI command configures
logging (with a trivial configuration that dumps log messages to the
console). Previously we did this in the base CLI command but with the
refactoring of this class out of core Elasticsearch, we no longer
configure logging there (since we did not want this class to depend on
settings and logging). However, this meant for some CLI commands (like
the plugin CLI) we were no longer configuring logging. This commit adds
base classes between the low-level command and multi-command classes
that ensure that logging is configured. Any CLI command that depends on
core Elasticsearch should use this infrastructure to ensure logging is
configured. There is one exception to this: Elasticsearch itself because
it takes reponsibility into its own hands for configuring logging from
Elasticsearch settings and log4j2.properties. We preserve this special
status.

This commit removes the ability to use ${prompt.secret} and
${prompt.text} as valid config settings. Secure settings has obsoleted
the need for this, and it cleans up some of the code in Bootstrap.
Projects the depend on the CLI currently depend on core. This should not
always be the case. The EnvironmentAwareCommand will remain in :core,
but the rest of the CLI components have been moved into their own
subproject of :core, :core:cli.
Only tests should use the single argument Environment constructor. To
enforce this the single arg Environment constructor has been replaced with
a test framework factory method.
Production code (beyond initial Bootstrap) should always use the same
Environment object that Node.getEnvironment() returns. This Environment
is also available via dependency injection.
This commit adjusts the format of the SHA-512 checksum files supported
by the plugin installer. In particular, we now require that the SHA-512
format be a single-line file containing the checksum followed by two
spaces followed by the filename. We continue to support the legacy
format for SHA-1.
Relates #27093
With 6.0 rc1 we now publish sha512 checksums for official plugins.
However, in order to ease the pain for plugin authors, this commit adds
backcompat to still allow sha1 checksums. Also added tests for
checksums.
Closes#26746
This commit removes the keystore creation on elasticsearch startup, and
instead adds a plugin property which indicates the plugin needs the
keystore to exist. It does still make sure the keystore.seed exists on
ES startup, but through an "upgrade" method that loading the keystore in
Bootstrap calls.

Today our shell scripts march on if they encounter an error during
execution. One place that this actually causes a problem is with the
Java version checker. What can happen is this: if the user botches their
installation so that the JavaVersionChecker can not be found on the
classpath, when we attempt to run the Java version checker, first an
error message that the class can not be found is displayed, and then we
print a message that their version of Java is not compatible; this
happens even if they are using a Java 8 installation. The problem is
that we should have immediately aborted when the class could not be
loaded. Since we do not exit when the shell script encounters an error,
we end up conflating failue to run the version check with a failed
version check. Instead, we really should abort the moment that one of
our scripts encounters an error. To do this, we make the following
changes:
- enable set -e and set -o pipefail
- make the Java version checker responsible for printing the error
message to the console
- remove the exit status check from the scripts
- actually on Windows, we still have to check the exit status because
there is no equivalent of set -e
- when we check for daemonization, we can no longer check the exit
status from grep because a failed grep will abort the script;
instead, we move the grep execution to be the condition for the if as
this does not trip the set -e failure conditions
- we should source elasticsearch-env before doing anything, so we move
the definition of parse_jvm_options below sourcing elasticsearch-env
- we make consistent all places where we use a subshell to use
backticks
Relates #26057
This commit fixes tests for environment-aware commands. A previous
change added a check that es.path.conf is not null. The problem is that
this system property is not being set in tests so this check trips every
single time. To fix this, we move the check into a method that can be
overridden, and then override this method in relevant places in tests to
avoid having to set the property in tests. We also add a test that this
check works as expected.
By default, the remove plugin CLI command preserves configuration
files. This is so that if a user is upgrading the plugin (which is done
by first removing the old version and then installing the new version)
they do not lose their configuration file. Yet, there are circumstances
where preserving the configuration file is not desired. This commit adds
a purge option to the remove plugin CLI command.
Relates #24981
This commit renames all rest test files to use the .yml extension
instead of .yaml. This way the extension used within all of
elasticsearch for yaml is consistent.
When installing plugin permissions, we try to set the permissions on all
installed files ourselves because a umask from the user could violate
everything needed to get the permissions right. Sadly, directories were
not handled correctly at all and so we were still left with broken
installations with umasks like 0077. This commit fixes this issue, adds
a thorough unit test for the situation, and most importantly, adds a
test that sets the umask before installing the plugin.
Relates #24527
This commit fixes an issue when deleting the plugin directory while
executing the remove plugin command. Namely, we take out a file
descriptor on the plugin directory to traverse its contents to obtain
the list of files to delete. We leaked this file descriptor. On
Unix-based filesystems, this is not a problem, deleting the plugin
directory deletes the plugin directory. On Windows though, a delete is
not executed until the last file descriptor is closed. Since we leaked
this file descriptor, the plugin was not actually deleted. This led to
test failures that tried to cleanup left behind temporary directories
but these test failures were just exposing this bug. This commit fixes
this issue by ensuring that we close the file descriptor to the plugin
directory when we are finished with it.
Relates #24266
Today when removing a plugin, we attempt to move the plugin directory to
a temporary directory and then delete that directory from the
filesystem. We do this to avoid a plugin being in a half-removed
state. We previously tried an atomic move, and fell back to a non-atomic
move if that failed. Atomic moves can fail on union filesystems when the
plugin directory is not in the top layer of the
filesystem. Interestingly, the regular move can fail as well. This is
because when the JDK is executing such a move, it first tries to rename
the source directory to the target directory and if this fails with
EXDEV (as in the case of an atomic move failing), it falls back to
copying the source to the target, and then attempts to rmdir the
source. The bug here is that the JDK never deleted the contents of the
source so the rmdir will always fail (except in the case of an empty
directory).
Given all this silliness, we were inspired to find a different
strategy. The strategy is simple. We will add a marker file to the
plugin directory that indicates the plugin is in a state of
removal. This file will be the last file out the door during removal. If
this file exists during startup, we fail startup.

The plugin cli currently resides inside the elasticsearch jar. This
commit moves it into a plugin-cli jar. This is change alone is a no-op;
it does not change anything about what is loaded at runtime. But it will
allow easier testing (with fixtures in the future to test ES or maven
installation), as well as eventually not loading these classes when
starting elasticsearch.
Today when users start Elasticsearch with their Java configuration
pointing to a pre-Java 8 install, they encounter a cryptic message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
org/elasticsearch/bootstrap/Elasticsearch : Unsupported major.minor
version 52.0
They often think that they have Java 8 installed but if their JAVA_HOME
or other configuration is causing them to start with a pre-Java 8
install, this error message does not help them.
We introduce a Java version checker that runs on Java 6 as part of the
startup scripts. If the Java version is pre-Java 8, we can display a
helpful error message to the user informing them of the Java version
that the runtime was started with. Otherwise, Elasticsearch starts as it
does today.
